Revisiting the IPIP-NEO personality hierarchy with taxonomic graph analysis

Researchers applied a new statistical approach called Taxonomic Graph Analysis (TGA) to a large U.S. dataset of personality test responses (IPIP-NEO). They found support for 28 facets, 6 traits, and 3 meta-traits, but not a general factor of personality. Some of these groupings aligned with existing theory (Openness, Conscientiousness, and Neuroticism), but others diverged significantly, revealing new trait domains such as Sociability, Integrity, and Impulsivity grouped under Disinhibition.

Involuntary Celibacy: A Review of Incel Ideology and Experiences with Dating, Rejection, and Associated Mental Health and Emotional Sequelae

Incels experience high rates of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and rejection sensitivity, and struggle with dating and forming relationships. They often cope using both healthy and unhealthy mechanisms, and may seek support in online communities where violent and misogynistic content may be present. More research, using a variety of methodologies, is needed to better understand this group and address their needs.

A New, Near-Gaussian Measurement of Leftism Shows the Paternal Age Effect Replicates

This small study suggests a possible link between a father's age and their child's left-leaning political views. However, it's important to note that this is just a correlation, not proof of causation, and the study didn't control for things like the mother's political views or birth order effects. Larger, more rigorous studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Precarious engagements and the politics of knowledge production: Listening to calls for reorienting hegemonic social psychology

This paper argues that hegemonic social psychology, with its Western-centric focus and emphasis on universal theories, creates and perpetuates precarity for marginalized scholars, especially those from the Global South. The authors propose a six-point lens for understanding precarity and offer several political-personal intentions for reorienting the field towards decolonial praxis and epistemic justice.

Psychological Science at the United Nations: Historical Trends

The involvement of psychology with the United Nations has evolved over four stages, starting with individual contributions and culminating in the formation of the Psychology Coalition at the UN (PCUN). This shift reflects a move towards more coordinated and research-focused activities, addressing global issues like the Millennium and Sustainable Development Goals.

rempsyc: Convenience functions for psychology

The 'rempsyc' R package offers convenience functions that automate the formatting and export of APA-compliant tables and figures, directly into Word documents or as high-resolution images. This reduces manual effort and minimizes the risk of errors during the analysis-to-publication process.

What Is a White Epistemology in Psychological Science? A Critical Race-Theoretical Analysis

The article argues that "white epistemology," centered on scientific methods in psychology, prevents an understanding of the complexity of race and leads to scientific racism. It proposes that a broader practice of knowledge and education, incorporating perspectives of racialized people and historical context, is necessary to address these issues.
